A photo of a special request. Here is a picture of a picture, featuring a nice angle on the Statue of Liberty. The immense statue is greenish in copper plate against a bright overcast sky. The face is inspired by Roman statues and is "Classical" in design. A lady named Linda is a very loyal patron to my events, so I am making her a special sign. Behind this photo are copies of past event fliers. They all rest on Japanese tile at my house. ART DEPARTMENT : Here is a collection of printed posters to assemble for the Laguna Beach 50501 on April 19. We will be at Broadway and Main beach in Laguna Beach, California, at 11:00 AM. These poster include "That's All Folks!" - The KKK took my 401K - a penguin theme, and upside down flags in black. A photo of philosopher Albert Camus. He stoically smokes a cigarette in front a steel fence. He. wears a thick wool overcoat from the 1940's. There is a quote, which makes this a MEME, "The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion." —Albert Camus, adjoined by a small upside down flag beneath the signature.

A composite photo failed to print in the Laguna Beach Independent. The upside down flag held by a man, as well a Ukrainian flag held by a young man, along with a nice lavender painting of the Statue of Liberty were omitted from print.

Four Pairs : demonstrators with homemade signs
A couple holding black protest signs in Laguna Beach on April 5, 2025. A younger male on the left hold sign that reads "HANDS OFF !! OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS." in white letter on black background. His female partner on the right holds sign that reads, "FREE SPEECH / FREE PRESS, a bird is depicted and on its body reads in blue and red, "If your voice held no power, they wouldn't try to sensor you." They stand in front of beach volleyball nets on the sand near Coast HWY in Laguna Beach. Here a pair of women in photograph hold a fluorescent pink sign that is hand made. It says simply, "My BODY ! My CHOICE !" The young women stand in the sand on the beach near a busy Coast HWY. Behind them is a volleyball tournament hosted by Rivian. They stand defiantly against President Donald Trump, but are happy with smiles. A cute older couple in blues stand together with matching white signs. The older healthy man on the left with a blue shibori tie-dye holds a sign that reads "STOP THE FELON." His female mate with cute blue hat and bag holds a sign that reads. "COMPASSION IS COOL." They stand on the beach adjacent to Coast HWY in Laguna Beach on April 5, 2025. Behind them is a picturesque boardwalk with passers by, and a nice blue ocean on the horizon. In this photograph is a "cool Dad" with his very young daughter. They stand in the sun on the grassy hill before the beach in Laguna Beach. He is leaning on a stone trash can holding low, a sign the says, "MAKE AMERICA SMART AGAIN" in hand drawn sharpie font. His young brunette. daughter holds a painted lavender sign that is like a Childs drawing. It has a pretty blue peace sign that is colored in on purple background. The daughter has a tie dye Hawaiian shirt. The Dad is proud and smiling. Behind them is a picturesque beach with shady trees.

Some of my favorite profiles from the demonstration.
A photograph in detail shows a demonstrator holding a big American flag upside down. He stands on a grassy knoll before the beach in Laguna Beach. With 100+ attendees this was. a successful and meaningful symbolic resistance for. our community. You are not alone if you are against Donald Trump. My neighbor Geri is a cool photographer herself and is holding a digital image of the Statue of Liberty. The sign is white and says in black, "Save our democracy. She is Korean with tattoos and dressed in black, while standing in the grass at the beach in Laguna Beach. This 50501 protest was well attended. Alex, with arms wide, holds a Ukrainian flag. He was bold in standing up to hecklers and counter protesters who had DOGE signs up the hill. He was one that stayed the longest at our demonstration. A good younger man in his 20's. The Ukrainian flag is well used, faded and torn. He stands in the grass next to Coast HWY in Laguna Beach. A bbbusy beach scene can be seen behind him, full of tourists and basketball courts. The weather was perfect, the sky is clear light blue ike his flag. An older woman from the artist community in Laguna Beach holds a beautiful painting she made. It is in hues of lavender and depicts a crying Statue of Liberty. She image covers her eyes as she weeps in shame. The artist stands stoically behind her painting and has pensive eyes. She standing protest of President Donald Trump in the sand, near the busy intersection of Broadway and Coast HWY in Laguna Beach. Behind her can be seen other demonstrators and tourists. The faint ocean horizon can be seen in the distance.

Digital composition flier for a 50501 demonstration in Laguna Beach. RESIST! contrasts in white against the water-colored interpretation of an American flag. These colors blend in to a sunset which is idyllic of Laguna Beach. This city is know for its past liberal standing but is falling to conservative neighbors Irvine, San Clemente and Newport Beach. We are here protesting regularly to represent Laguna Beach culture of inclusivity and conscientious opposition to Trump policies. This demonstration is to be held on April 5, 2025 at Main Beach in Laguna Beach. Digital composition of a protest sign designed by Brendon Crigler. It is based in white and has the Statue of Liberty in bold gray sketch treatment. In black it reads "SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY"

A print composition. Bugs Bunny in Warner Brother's classic title, it reads,"That's all Folks!" with bugs bunny's arms spread wide. Beneath is an upside down U.S. flag in black and white. The gesture is a sarcastic salutation of doom and "distress." It is prototype protest sign in black, red and white. A print composition. In black and white is the depiction of The Statue of Liberty of The United States, it is grey in sketch form. In white lettering spells, "SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY" with a black background. The image looks inverted like a tin type, as distorted in real life. A print composition. "Not My President" in bold white letters are next to a depiction of Elon Musk of DOGE and Tesla. Elon Musk wears a British style Crown with a red no sign slashing over his bust. Beneath it reads in red "NO KINGS." This is a prototype for a protest poster to be used one April 5, 2025.
